At the same time, the content of the created knowledge did not influence the decisions of the Ministry of Public Education. Disciplinary and representative aspects of this practice – humility of professors and teachers participating in it, timely implementation of the instructions coming from above, the consistency shown in tables and the text of digital indicators were much more important for bureaucrats.
